3 days trek on Hochschwab and Häuselalm hut

I'm trying to find informations about this hut. Looks like it's not open full time.
Did anyone sleep in it, and is there any phone number ?

As I was in Austria last week end I bought a couple of maps including the Rax area and the Hochschwab.
I'm particularly interested in the Hochschwab despite it's slightly more distant; it's not a high mountain but it seems to be a very beautiful and interesting massif.
As I studied the map I wondered how this mountain could be visited during 2 or 3 days, visiting all interesting features on it (tops, lakes, beautiful spots).
Any suggestions ?

you can traverse it in 3 days. Bodenbauer --> Schiestlhaus --> Sonnschienhütte --> Polster --> Präbichl.
Hochschwab has lost quite a bit of its wild character, but it is still a beautiful tour, particularly in late summer and fall.
The lower northern parts (around wildalpen) may be less touched, I am not sure. Seckauer Alpen, albeit different in character, I prefer to it. Alternatively you can hike from Eisenerzer Reichenstein to Admonter Reichenstein in 2 days or so. Popular "insider" route

My Rother walking guide shows me 8h45 from Bodenbauer to Seeweisen, plus a longer variant more on the ridge and via Häuselalm. I was thinking about a trip like :
1 : Seeweisen - Häuselalm via the top
2 : Häuselalm - Sonnschienhütte - Ebenstein - Grüner See (Oberort) - Boderbauer
3 : Boderbauer - Voisthaler - Seeweisen - Wroclaw
Perhaps it is a bit too much... you opinion ? the idea is to pick a week-end with stable good weather during summer long days. I'm a good walker
I was also wondering if it is wiser to park in Boderbauer or Seeweisen ; just for a very pragmatic reason, I need to leave the car in safe place, if possible cheap, or better, free. Any suggestions welcome...
